The march in downtown Belo Horizonte, brings together artists, supporters, lawmakers, and political figures.

Minas Gerais is a key territory in the presidential race due to its electoral weight and political diversity.

The president’s campaign aims to bolster mobilization of Workers’ Party (PT) supporters and expand support ahead of the October 25 vote.

This Wednesday’s march is reportedly part of the PT’s final push to drive its grassroots and compete for the votes in one of the country’s most significant states.
